The Ashley Tamburri Scholarship is a four-year renewable tuition scholarship
administered by The Ashley Foundation, Inc. The scholarship is awarded
in memory of Ashley Elizabeth Tamburri. When Ashley received her diagnosis
of a brain tumor, she began to redefine her plans and goals for living.
Throughout her cancer treatment she actively clarified those goals and
engaged all of life. Ashley died on June 24, 1999, at the age of 16.
The scholarship program was established to ensure that other teens like
Ashley, who have faced or are facing cancer, are encouraged to strive
toward achieving their goals.

The Application
Process requires the student to be a cancer survivor or currently
diagnosed with cancer and a senior, attending high school in a county
served by the Foundation. Currently seniors attending a high school
in Carroll, Howard, Frederick, Montgomery or Washington County, Maryland
are eligible to apply. An active cancer patient does not have to be
receiving treatment to qualify. The cancer may be in remission or deemed
cured. Scholarships are not based upon financial need or scholastic
ability.
Application Submission Period - Applications for the Ashley Foundation Scholarship must be submitted and received between the period of January 15 - February 15 of the submission year. Any applications received outside of the submission period will not be considered.

The purpose of the scholarships is to encourage graduating seniors who
are cancer survivors or are currently coping with a cancer diagnosis
to pursue an educational goal. The funds must be used toward tuition
and the student must plan to attend a college or university. ( Scholarship
